This is not consistent with reality.

1 Most users don't need to emulate old monitors, scanlines, noise interference and other garbage that users had 30 years ago! Shader crt-auto that they made by default just and emulates scanlines and blur, I did not like it very much!

2 Shader sets vga-* For example vga-1080p are tied to screen resolution and cannot be set by default.

3 I compared vga-1080p shader and sharpю I like sharp better and it is universal.

4 mednafen has a shader sabr which is perfect for me, it smooths pixels perfectly and makes the image sharper, unfortunately dosbox-staging doesn't have it.

So I'm left with my opinion to keep sharp by default as the best available and universal.

This won't fly. Users expect a package to behave the same way as upstream, unless there is a damn good reason to deviate. Personal preference do not qualify as a good reason.

So if upstream broke it, and from my point of view he broke it, then this broken shader I should upload to other users?

Should I also remove the name-patch so that it's not clear whether it's dosbox or dosbox-staging just because upstream wants it that way?

actually: the argument is perfect! Our package maintainers are not supposed to deliver bad decisions from upstream but make things behave properly in openSUSE.

In general I would agree; but visual modifications have their special place, so much so that we have all those *-branding-{SLE,openSUSE,upstream} packages in openSUSE.
